The World Times business package from Sweetlets is a simple, yet very practical time, date and weather iView for your SAP NetWeaver Portal. This user friendly business package includes a wide variety of time, date and weather personalization options right out of the box - from the admin down to the end user.

Why the World Times application

We developed World Times out of necessity just like the range of our other applications - seeing a big void in the market for convenient and cost effective solutions. With our deep understanding of portal ROI, we know what it takes, not only the resources to develop such an application, but also to maintain. Developing the plug n’ play World Times business package provides a significant return on investment for any IT – saving them considerable resources which could be devoted elsewhere.

The World Times business package applied

Every global company dealing with multiple regions or a diverse range of employee and dealer locations has added difficulty running a smooth business. Widespread companies suffer with issues such as communicating in several time zones, regional sales which depend on local weather conditions, and many different work schedules from a variety of cultures. These ongoing issues can disrupt an employee’s work flow and ultimately in the end, hurt business. Some good examples which may apply to you include:

• Your colleagues in the sister office on another continent may not in the office because they are 5 hours ahead of your time zone.
• Somehow you always try to call your client during their lunch times or their pre-scheduled daily meetings.
• You scheduled a conference call for Monday while forgetting that Monday in Arabian countries is considered the weekend.
• How about national holidays? No wonder you didn’t get an answer on an important email Friday! It was a long weekend in your Asian client’s province due to their national holiday.
• And your sales people need to have easy access on a daily basis to the weather in the next state over so they can plan seasonal product sales.

World Times can solve all these issues and more! Simply select and configure your preferred list of worldwide cities and deploy the World Times iView into your SAP Portal, then customized per area/department, and use.

This handy iView will display each pre-selected city complete with its appropriate time, date and weather. World Times is also smart enough to not only calculate time zones, but to automatically adjust to daylight savings every season - so you don’t have to.
